A classic fantasy with terrific girl power (and chocolate), perfect for fans of Shannon Hale and Jessica Day George.
Aventurine is a brave young dragon ready to explore the world outside of her family's mountain cave . . . if only they'd let her leave it. Her family thinks she's too young to fly on her own, but she's determined to prove them wrong by capturing the most dangerous prey of all: a human. But when that human tricks...
A wonderful story of how vulnerable a young dragon becomes when she wanders away from the family cave and gets transformed into a human girl. She ends up in a town where there's the full range of human foibles, people who mistreat her and others who help her. Beautiful world-building and descriptions of her chocolate apprenticeship and her relationships with her new friends. And there's adventure too, when the Royal family and her dragon family get involved in the story.
